Patent GB-2434853-A (GB)
Title: Spray device
Inventor: HERRING WILLIAM PETER
IPC: F16K11/085
Filed: 2006-02-02
Abstract: A side spray 1 has a hand-held spray unit 2 connected via a manifold 3 to two fluid input supplies. The manifold converts the two separate input supplies into a joint output supply 4, in which a first fluid feed 14 is partitioned from a second fluid feed 15. The first and second fluid feeds 14, 15 are supplied to first and second input ports [44,49 Fig 3] respectively of a mixing chamber 12 located in the spray unit 2. Upon actuation of the side spray 1, fluid from the first and second fluid feeds 14, 15 can mix in the mixing chamber 12 in the spray unit 2 before being output. The mix ratio of fluid from the first and second fluid feeds may be adjustable.

Title: Moisture curable extended polysiloxane composition
Inventor: DESSILLY THIERRY
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 2006-04-03
Abstract: A one or two part moisture curable composition capable of curing to an elastomeric body, the composition comprising an organopolysiloxane containing polymer having not less than two silicon-bonded condensable (preferably hydroxyl or hydrolysable) groups and/or a polymer with an organic polymeric based chain which has been end-capped with silicon containing groups comprising condensable (preferably hydroxyl or hydrolysable) substituents; a siloxane and/or silane cross-linker having at least two groups per molecule which are reactable with the condensable groups in the polymer; at least one compatible mineral oil based extender (i.e. process aid or secondary plasticizer); a suitable cure catalyst and optionally one or more fillers. These compositions overcome the problem of lack of compatibility of the extender compounds with components in the uncured silicone composition, such as phase separation during storage, and also avoid exudation of extender from the cured composition. Preferred extenders are paraffinic hydrocarbons with high initial boiling points (greater than 230 {C) and high molecular weight (greater than 150 preferably greater than 200). The composition is useful as a sealant.

IPC: B41J5/10
Filed: 2006-10-06
Abstract: A keyboard (2) comprises a main key section (4) having a first side (6, Fig.3) with a first set of alphanumeric keys (8, Fig.3) and a second side (10, Fig.4) with a set of blank keys (12, Fig.4). The keyboard (2) has positioning means (14) which enables the main key section (4) to be positioned in either a first position (Fig.1) in which the first set of keys (8, Fig.3) are uppermost, or in a second position (Fig.2) in which the second set of keys (12, Fig. 4) are uppermost. The keyboard (2) functions normally in either the first or second positions. The main key section (4) is positioned in the second position in order to facilitate the learning of touch typing. In the second position the blank keys (12) aid in the teaching of touch typing as the user is unable to see the key indicia and hence accelerates user memorization of the keys. The keyboard (2) may further include a CD ROM storage slot (20) for receiving a CD ROM giving instruction of touch typing.

Patent GB-2445153-A (GB)
Title: Resiliently biased clamp
Inventor: HILL DAVID
IPC: F16B2/10
Filed: 2006-12-23
Abstract: A rotary holding device attached to a body comprising a plurality of clamping legs 3 which move relative to each other against a biasing force and support clamping members 2. The device allows simultaneous operation of either mounting the assembly to a vertical or horizontal edge or securing an object within a rotatable holding housing 5 which supports a clamping member 4. By moving the legs against the biasing force, the device is prepared for mounting to an edge such as a ladder leg or table. Upon release the device is automatically secured to the edge by means of the biasing force. Inadvertent movement of the device once positioned is further limited by grip improving materials applied to both the clamping legs and the edge mating face of body. The holding housing -in this case a female dovetail socket capable of receiving and securing a mating male dovetail fitted to or part of an accessory or component -may be rotated to the desired position. This position may be maintained - in this case by means of a sprung detent mechanism - to hold the accessory or component at the desired angle. To further increase the safe operation of the device whilst used at height - for example fitted to a ladder leg or scaffolding - a separate and independent locking device is attached to any one or more of the clamping legs. In this case a twistable body and expanding core plug is fitted to the clamping leg or legs and locked into place by rotating the outer body against the inner core. This movement reduces a certain shaft length and expands a flexible spring mounted on this shaft. Expansion of this spring within a clamping leg secures the locking device to the clamping leg and traps the ladder leg or scaffolding between the two devices.

Patent GB-2437232-A (GB)
Title: IP multiservice network and method for making resource reservations for priority traffic
Inventor: BADER ATTILA
IPC: H04L12/54
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: A multiservice IP network and a method are described herein that use an enhanced QOS message which makes it possible for an IP router to reserve resources for and admit a high priority traffic flow without needing to terminate an existing low priority traffic flow. In accordance with the present invention, in the event an emergency reservation request arrives at an IP router and there are not enough resources to support the high priority traffic flow, then the IP router reduces the reservation of one or more low priority traffic flows to a reduced level. The IP router also sends a notification message to the sender indicating that the reservations have been reduced. Thereafter, the high priority traffic flow can be admitted. As such, if there is enough adaptive traffic in the multiservice IP network, then the low priority calls need not be terminated instead only the resources are reduced to a lower but still acceptable QoS level. And, when traffic conditions improve the reduced reservations can be increased back to the original level.

Title: Thermal pre-scanning of electric circuits using thermally-trimmable resistor
Inventor: GRUDIN OLEG
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 2008-09-22
Abstract: There is described a method to change the value of a thermally-trimmable resistor in a non-permanent way by raising the temperature of the thermally-trimmable resistor to a level that is somewhere between room temperature and trimming temperature. By doing this, the trimming range that is available via true thermal trimming may be explored without actually trimming the value of the resistor. This is possible when the thermal Iy- trimmable resistor, or a portion thereof, has an essentially non-zero temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR).
